简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Sativex® compared with placebo in relieving pain due to Diabetic Neuropathy.
详细描述
This was a 15 week (one week baseline and fourteen weeks treatment period), multicentre, double blind, randomised, placebo controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy of Sativex in subjects with pain due to diabetic neuropathy. Subjects were screened to determine eligibility and completed a seven-day baseline period. Subjects then returned to the centre for assessment, randomisation and dose introduction. Visits occurred at the end of weeks two, six, ten and at the end of the study (treatment week 14) or earlier if they withdrew. A follow up visit occurred 28 days after completion or withdrawal. Subjects in this study were given the opportunity to be enrolled in an open label extension study.

- •Ability (in the investigators opinion) and willingness to comply with all study requirements.
- •Diagnosed with Type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus as diagnosed according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) criteria.
- •Diagnosed with neuropathic pain due to distal symmetrical diabetic neuropathy of at least six months duration, as defined by a NDS score of at least 4, and in who pain is not wholly relieved with their current therapy. The NDS score must be attained from at least two different test parameters and not only the ankle jerk reflex.
- •The last six daily diary 0-10 NRS pain scores before randomisation summed to at least
- •Stable dose of regular pain medication and non-pharmacological therapies (including TENS) for at least 14 days prior to the screening visit and willingness for these to be maintained throughout the study.
- •Agreement for the responsible authorities (as applicable in individual countries), their primary care physician, and their consultant, if appropriate, to be notified of their participation in the study.
排除标准
- •Concomitant pain thought by the investigator to be of a nature or severity to interfere with their assessment of their painful diabetic neuropathy.
- •Uncontrolled diabetes with HbA1c blood levels of more than 11% at Visit1, Day B
- •Receiving a prohibited medication and were unwilling to stop or comply for the duration of the study.
- •Has used cannabinoid based medications within 60 days of study entry and were unwilling to abstain for the duration for the study.
- •Has used cannabis within 30 days of study entry and were unwilling to abstain for the duration for the study.
- •History of schizophrenia, other psychotic illness, severe personality disorder or other significant psychiatric disorder other than depression associated with their underlying condition.
- •Known or suspected history of alcohol or substance abuse.

- •Known or suspected hypersensitivity to cannabinoids or any of the excipients of the IMP.
- •Postural drop of 20mmHg or more in systolic blood pressure at screening.
- •Medical history of gastroparesis.
- •Evidence of cardiomyopathy.
- •Experienced myocardial infarction or clinically relevant cardiac dysfunction within the last 12 months or had a cardiac disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator would put the subject at risk of a clinically relevant arrhythmia or myocardial infarction.
- •QT interval; of > 450 ms (males) or > 470 ms (females) at Visit
- •Secondary or tertiary AV block or sinus bradycardia (HR <50bpm) or sinus tachycardia (HR>110bpm) at Visit
- •Diastolic blood pressure of <50 mmHg or >105 mmHg in a sitting position at rest for five minutes prior to randomisation.
- •Impaired renal function i.e., creatinine clearance is lower than 50 ml/min at Visit
- •Significantly impaired hepatic function, at Visit 1, in the investigator's opinion.

- •Received an IMP within the 12 weeks before Visit
- •Any other significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the investigator, may either put the subject at risk because of participation in the study, may influence the result of the study, or the subject's ability to participate in the study.
- •Following a physical exam, the subject had any abnormalities that, in the opinion of the investigator, would prevent the subject from safely participating in the study.
- •Intention to donate blood during the study.
- •Intention to travel internationally during the study.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Responders at the 30% Improvement Level at the End of Treatment
时间窗: Day 0 - Day 98
A positive 30% pain response is defined as a reduction of at least 30% in the mean NRS average pain score from baseline to week 14 (last 7 days). The patient was asked "on a scale of '0 to 10', please indicate the number that best describes your pain or average pain in the last 24 hours" where 0 = no pain and 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine. No pain relates to the time prior to the onset of pain. The average pain NRS was completed at the same time each day, i.e. bedtime in the evening. Estimates were produced for a one-week period, with the evaluable period finishing at the end of the appropriate seven-day period.
The Change From Baseline in Mean Diabetic Neuropathy Pain 0-10 Numerical Rating Scale Score at the End of Treatment (Average of Last 7 Days Treatment)
时间窗: Day 0 to Day 98
The diabetic neuropathy pain Numerical Rating Scale was complete at the end of every day. The patient was asked "on a scale of '0 to 10', please indicate the number that best describes your nerve pain due to diabetes in the last 24 hours" where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain. No pain relates to the time prior to the onset of pain due to diabetic neuropathy. For those whose evaluable period ended before Day 7, the mean of the available post-randomisation data was used. Those with no post-baseline diary pain 0-10 Numerical Rating Scale scores were excluded from the analysis.
